The Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education has responded to the viral video showing a controversial passage in a nursery school English textbook.\u00a0In an official statement, the Ministry said the book in question is not among the approved or recommended materials for use in public or recognised private schools in Lagos.\u00a0According to the statement, the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun, has ordered an immediate investigation. Preliminary findings reportedly traced the school featured in the video to Ojo Local Government Area.\u00a0The Ministry added that both the school and the publisher have been identified for further action, stressing that only government-approved, age-appropriate, and morally sound materials are permitted in schools across the state.\u00a0This development comes after a mother raised concerns online about a disturbing passage in her 5-year-old childs textbook and later alleged she was being threatened over the video.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0View this post on Instagram\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial)\u00a0\u00a0The post Lagos govt reacts to viral textbook video, says material is not approved appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
